Weekly Beats is certainly great for learning stuff.  This could be cool with some vocals, but I thought it sounded good as an instrumental.  I liked the changeup/slowdown that happened around the 1:00 mark.

Ohai, good to see you here! Sounds like a well thought-through plan for this year. Good goals!

The track has promise, I can see what you're going for! Keep at it.

One quick tip I can give is that an easy way to add variety and motion is to allow some parts to stay quiet for a while. So you can get the distorted guitars sit some bars out, or have a moment where there's only the guitar riff without any other instruments, and then everything else hits with full force. In this sense you can add to your track literally by just removing stuff here and there. You know what I mean, you'd probably come up with that yourself as soon as you'll be adding vocals. Then you will need to make some space in the frequency spectrum for the voice.

So yeah, waiting for those vocals 😎

Hey, I dig the dadaistic approach here, give's me sort of DEVO vibes. Would be cool to hear some vocals as well.

And it sounds like you have the right approach for WB, just make a lot of stuff and see where it leads.

Thanks! I might cannibalise some of the tracks later for new material. I really want to add vocals to my tracks, but now instrumentals take a lot of time and effort

Thanks!

Hi!

>allow some parts to stay quiet for a while
100% agree, it turned out to be a bit too much.
I want to revisit this track and play it on live guitar and add vocals one day, but that's a plan for the future - unless I will find time to practice guitar soon

Hey thanks! It's the first time I hear of DEVO, would you mind sharing some of the stuff? Would love to give it a listen
